FiNpLAY, O., Aug. 24.-A double affection
came to Mrs. Folk, aged eighty-five years,
a well known resident of Marion Town
ship, this county, this morning. She arose
from her bed feeling as wei. as usual, and
ate hearty breakfast, and a few moments
afterward suddenly became both blind and
deaf The loss of these senses is evidently
permanent, and is supposed to be the re-
suit of old age, as there was no other ap-
parent cause for the calamity.

Washoe county N ade hit yes
terday in the Senate chamber.
When the Senator's entered the
place in the morning they were
surprised to find magnificent floral
display on the Presidents desk. It
was an immense bouquet of white
and yellow roses. Every man who
saw the display paused to catch his
breath for the flowers seemed fresh
from the morning dew and were of
unusual size. Not one had faded
or imperfect look. Several Sena-
tors went up, smelled of the flowers
aud when they did they smiled for
a moment and then appeared to
relish the fragrance with keen
gpsto. 1t soon became known
about the chamber that the flowers
were cunningly carved out of tur-
nips, carrots, cabbages, parsnips and
beets. The work was so skillfullv
done that the keenest observer
would fail to detect the imposition
a few feet away. From the turnip
sprang the white rose as white and
snowy asevergleamedin the breasts
of the men who went to battle In
the War of the Roses and the beet
had given birth to the blood red
rose of lust, that is the refrain of
the "Ostler Joe" poem, and the
golden carrots gave the yellow roses
life. President Davis was censid-
erably taken abacI when he saw
the flowers for the first time and
when he read the card on it as a
tribute from Washoe county he
blushed until his face was the color
of the beet rese before him. 1t
was generally agreed that Washoe
had got in it's work again.

DON'T MUTILATE THE UNI
VERSITY BILL!


versity ought to become a law.
If that institution is to be sup
ported by the State, it should not
be run as private concern for
the benefit of the impecunious
or to furnish places for teachers.
Nor is the State called upon to
support private school for the
benefit of Reno or any other
town. The bill which has passed
the Senate will supply pressing
want in this State. Every State
and Territory in the Union has
one or more normal schools for
the education of their own teach
erS.
California has eight schools in
which teachers are taught the
normal school methods. There
are in the United States 233
normal schools with $4,000
teachers in attendance. Nevada
has no school in which teach
ers can be instructed. The
people in every district in tho
Slate demand that their own
citizens should teach their chill
dren. They are clamoring for
"home rule" imported teachers
are looked upon with disfavor
and generally treated discour-
teously. Young men and women
raised at home have had no op-
portunlty to qualify themselves
as teachers, and when employed
are failures. When not employ
ed and a teacher from abroad is
selected, dissatisfaction exists
and the children suffer for the
want of proper support for the
schools.
The bill which passed the Sen

ing the University Fund for
teaching mining and mechanical
arts "a necessary part of a teach
er's education) available. 1t also |
provides for instructing teachers
according to all the modern |
methods. 1t is so framed as to
leave the amount of the salary |
of the President of the University |
discretionary with the Regents.
This is necessary, for the whole
appropriation will be thrown
away unless a suitable President |
is secured. He must not only be
a learned man, but he must be
practical teacher, and must be
endorsed both as to qualifications
and moral character by three out
of fourteen normal schools named |
in the bill There is no proba-
bility, or even possibility, of any
person in this State having the
requisite qualifications applying
for the place. Any attempt to
emasculate the bill for the bene-
fit of an incompetent resident of
Nevada. and SO as to exclude
comp tent teacher from abroad
either by reducing the salary or
emitting the necessary qualifica-
tions should be resisted by every
member of the Legislature.
Pass the bill as it came from
the Senate and we will have an
institution in which the whole
State will have an interest; an
institution in which not only
new teachers but those already
engaged in that business may at
tend and be instructed in the
modern methods of teaching chill
dren. To contend that Nevada
is not in need of a normal school.
or normal school instructors, is
absurd, and such sentiment can
only emanate from person who
is either ignorant of the condi-
ton of our schools as compared
with those of other States, or
from an enemy of the common
schools.

TIE LATEST FASHION IN GIRLS.
They Must be Dashing and strong,
Not Romantic or CIingIng.

New York Mail and Express: The
proper thing in girls this year is dash-
ing ard straight aud strong. She greets
mankind with an impressive stare as
she strides along the street with her
chin in the air, her shoulders we'll back
and her arms swinging to and fro. This
season settled it. The opera brought
society back, and the proper girl came
romping home with flashing eyes and
the rudy glow of perfect health show
ing through the nut brown tan of the
summers campaign. The clipging
girl with tender eyes, the romantic
girl with the yearning glare, the do
mestic girl with the purring voice, the
"brilliant"girl with her tuJgid French,
the smuggling girl with her artful
smirk, and the girl who chung to the
skirts of mamma-they are gone.
They went away in hutter with tim
orous screams at the snort of the en-
CINE and the rush of the burly world.
Now they've come back, but
they're not the same. Instead,
there's an army Of lofty, gay,
intrepid, meddlesome, dsshing girls,
who swagger abroad with delicious
feminine audacity, and who have
brought the breeze of the mountain
top, the salty flavor Of the oceans
edge and the buoyant air of the Berk-
shire hills into the very heart of dirty,
dusty and stale New York. OF all the
types that the town has seen the girl
OF today, with her high bred look, her
daring style and winsome assumption
OF msnliness, is far and away the most
fetching thing that the world at large
can show.
